A person's desire to get spiritually evolved stems up from his mind set. Hence, even if obstacles come in that way a person should have the fortitude of mind to overcome the same and to continue the field chosen. It is the will power that is required in this regard and obstacles should not be cited as an excuse to get spiritually evolved. With regards.

Our ego, greed and desires are the main obstacles to our spiritual evolution. There is no importance of a thing to our spiritual evolution unless and until we are attached to it. e.g. an ordinary stone is not an obstacle but a diamond may be an obstacle if we are greedy to become rich.

Bipin Sir, Reality is plurality and multiplicity. Ideal is unity. Vedanta taught the relationship should be of 'Tamara patra Neera sambhanditva'-lotus petals in the pond-water droplets on it. Ideal is tangential relationships in attachment and detachment for spiritual evolution in rising.

Hari Om Ji, We are surrounded by the mysteries and wonders of life. We have also been provided with "Intelligence" to solve these mysteries. The keys to awaken the "Intelligence" within are ACCEPTANCE (surrender to what is - my understanding of ACCEPTANCE ) and TRUST (on self).It is with this "Intelligence " once awakened that the spiritual journey commences and progresses. So, I believe that "whatever one is surrounded by is for evolution" Om Tat sat

Everyone of us is capable of understanding ,though things are many, essence is one.Like the same wheat flour is seen as roti chappathy or phulka.One mud is seen as different vessels or idols.Mind likes it that way or the mind cannot exist.Where are those many, when we are asleep ,and that is the happiest time we live. It appears ,the god has given us sleep, only to make us understand what is the true happiness.We try to define moksha or eswaraprapthy ,but at the same time do not want to put it in practice and enjoy that elixir. cond..........

You said it. They are distractions. They can be constructive as well as destructive to your sadhana. Karma binds us to evry thing. So the minimu you are bound the better is your past Karma and what you take to the next from here on.

They are not obstacles, but stepping stones. They are necessary, that is why they are there. There is nothing unnecessary in ones's life. The word UNNECESSARY belongs to the people who lack acceptance and trust. That is not for spiritual aspirants.
